Real Madrid board expresses support for Capello.

Real Madrid's board of directors expressed support for manager Fabio Capello on Monday, a day after the club suffered its fourth loss in six games.

The board met following Madrid's 1-0 loss to Levante, which triggered protests at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with many in the crowd demanding Capello's resignation. The loss left Read Madrid in fourth place, five points behind league leader FC Barcelona.

"Fabio deserves all our confidence," club sport director Predrag Mijatovic said. "Capello continues as coach and things haven't changed.

"What we have to do is work harder, resolve our sport problems and trust that at the end of the year we'll be happy," added Mijatovic, who played for the club from 1996 to 1999.

Board spokesman Miguel Angel Arroyo told reporters Capello needed more time to carry out his changes.

"He is the only one capable of carrying out the renovation of Real Madrid that we all want," Arroyo said.

Madrid's loss to Levante was its first in history against the small team. Madrid was eliminated from the Copa del Rey last month, beaten by Real Betis in the fifth round.

The team has scored 28 goals in 21 league matches, its fewest in the 16 years.

Madrid was playing its 1,000th league game at the Bernabeu but first since Ronaldo completed a 7.5-million-euro (C$11.5 million) move to AC Milan on Tuesday.

Under Capello, Real Madrid also has seen David Beckham commit to transferring to the Los Angeles Galaxy after the European season is complete. Beckham watched Sunday's game from the stands.

Madrid has not won a trophy since 2003 — its longest drought since the early 1950s. Capello was hired in July as Madrid's sixth coach in three years.

Ronaldo Rage Key to Milan Move!

AC Milan aren’t just opening their bulging wallet to throw a few millions at Real Madrid when they can get something for – what appears to be – nothing.

Rossoneri negotiator Ernesto Bronzetti has revealed that the Fenômeno’s phenomenal anger at what he sees as persecution at the White House is the key to a return to Milan.

"The key to a successful and agreeable transfer is in Ronaldo’s ‘incazzatura’ [rage]”, explained the exec who’s got the task of bringing the number 9 back to San Siro on a free transfer.

He went on to adopt a sever bargaining position that makes it clear that if Madrid are holding out for a 10 million Euro Rossoneri offer then they’re just holding out for heartbreak.

Bronzeti knows full well that the player has to go public to demand a move in order to get Madrid to release him for free as a throbbing headache rather than a solid investment.

"Milan are now waiting for an answer from Ronaldo and Galliani has opened the Milanello doors for him. It’s something that Ronaldo needs to resolve”, he stressed.

“The Ronaldo issue has reached stalemate right now, but that was predictable as they were playing in Mallorca and all their chief executives are there while Ronaldo is in Madrid with his son"

With an announcement expected this week one way or the other s the transfer window gets ready to slam shut there were a few choice words comparing Ronaldo to Figo.

“Milan are waiting for Ronaldo to come forward and make a decision, but I don’t see him burning with desire to learn Arabic”, he jabbed in reference to a supposed Al-Ittihad 10 million Euro bid.

“He’s only 30, not 34 or 35 like Figo, so he’s in a different position. What do we do now? We wait for him to decide”, ended the exec with a sly smile.

Sergio Ramos injured.

The Sevillian suffered a sprained right ankle.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was replaced by Raúl Bravo in the second half of tonight's match after suffering a sprained right ankle. Once the team returns to the Spanish capital, the Club's medical services will assess the severity of the injury and determine the player's approximate recovery time.

Robinho: "It was a clear penalty".

Robinho was one of the stars of tonight's match. He scored the Whites' only goal and could have scored many more. When Real Madrid were 1-0 up, the referee failed to award him a penalty.

"We didn't imagine a draw was possible. We played much better than them, especially in the first half. We are improving. What's important is that we played with passion. The tackle that brought me down in Betis' box was a clear penalty, but the referee didn't award it. During the game, I thought our disallowed goals weren't offside, but I was told otherwise at the end of the match."

Real Madrid out of the cup!

Real Madrid are out of the cup on the away goals rule after drawing 1-1 in their second leg match with Betis.

The goal-less draw from the first leg gave Capello's side the advantage, and when Robinho fired home a deflected shot with only five minutes on the clock they appeared to be on their way to qualifying. But despite putting out a line up full of reserve players, Luis Fernández's side equalised when Dani headed past Diego López from close up after Maldonado headed on Isidoro's cross shortly before half time.

Referee Mejuto González ruled out goals by Higuaín and Helguera in the final minutes of each half for offside, and also turned down a penalty appeal by Robinho, and Doblas made important saves from Robinho and Sergio Ramos to see his side through to a quarter final tie with city rivals Sevilla.

SIR BOBBY: BECKHAM MOTIVATION HAS GONE.

David Beckham´s lack of motivation to continue playing at the highest level prompted his move to America, according to former England manager Sir Bobby Robson.

Robson is convinced the decision of national boss Steve McClaren to overlook the Real Madrid midfielder for the Euro 2008 qualifier in Croatia last October, despite a long injury list, convinced Beckham his days at the top were numbered. And the 73-year-old believes that was the first step on a road which has eventually led Beckham to LA Galaxy.

"The decision killed Beckham´s aspiration and hope and, in my view, led directly to this week´s announcement that he is off the the United States for a very lucrative semi-retirement," Robson claimed in his column for the Mail on Sunday.

Real boss criticises Beckham for signing US deal.

Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello still has not spoken to David Beckham about his decision to join LA Galaxy.

Capello is upset that Beckham signed a five-year deal before telling Real and the former England captain has been told he will not play for the club again.

Capello said: "He signed his contract before he spoke with Madrid and for me that doesn't seem right."

Beckham did not break any rules because players are free to talk to sign deals when they have less than six months left on their existing contracts.

But Capello is also concerned that Beckham is no longer committed to Real because he has a lucrative deal in the US.

He added: "I believe that if a player already has a contract elsewhere then it is not correct to count on him anymore. I still haven't spoken to him."

Beckham watched Real Madrid's game against Real Zaragoza from the private boxes on Sunday, but his team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy revealed after the game that he is still on good terms with the squad.

Van Nistelrooy said: "Before the game he was in the dressing room, wishing us well, it was good to see. His attitude is always good, caring for the team, for the club. That's what he will keep doing.

"As players we care for each other and feel for one another if things happen that are not nice for another one. That's what I had with David.

"We try to support him, be there for him as much as we can. We can't change what has happened unfortunately."

Ronaldo Has Permission To Speak With Al-Ittihad!

According to Sunday’s electronic edition of popular Saudi financial daily ‘Al-Eqtesadiya’, Al-Ittihad have been given the green light by Real Madrid to talk to the Brazilian striker.

“We are dealing directly with the player now that we have secured the go-ahead signal from Real Madrid,” the Saudi club's chief was quoted as saying.

“I do personally hope that our strong willingness and commitment to secure the services of Ronaldo will finally pay off and ease the way towards getting his official agreement soon,” he added, without mentioning the financial terms of the proposed offer.

Ronaldo also has been linked with a Beckham-esque move to MLS, specifically to the New York Red Bulls. Those rumors, however, appear to be only that at this point.

Various reports on Sunday have also linked Ricardinho (Besiktas Istanbul) with a possible swoop should the Ronaldo deal fail to materialize. Inter's Luis Figo already has agreed to join Al-Ittihad at the end of the European season.

Comments:

---------------

I think it will be a great mistake if Real Madrid sell Ronaldo. Because he is a great player and I think he still have ability to show something and bring glory to Real Madrid again if ge has got chance. So I think it will not be a good decission if Real Madrid allow him to leave. And I think Capello will understand it and keep him in the squad and will play him in the matches. Because all we know what Ronaldo can do when he is in form.

Raul and Gago niggled.

Captain Raul González and newcomer Fernando Gago were injured during the League game played against Zaragoza. The number '7' had to leave the pitch in the 15-minute mark after ascertaining that the pain that he felt in the back of his thigh was not subsiding. He has a pinched hamstring on his right leg. He will report for training on Monday and the Club's doctors will proceed to perform further tests.

Meanwhile, Fernando Gago finished the match with a strong blow to his right leg quadriceps.
